Bush hosts Bono at the White House
Bono may not have had to sing for his meal, but the U2 rocker had the ear of President George W. Bush over lunch on Wednesday.
In town to perform a concert, Bono was invited to the White House residence to follow up on discussions he and Bush had at the Group of Eight summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, in July, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
"Both share a deep commitment to combating AIDS, preventing malaria, and expanding trade to lift people out of poverty, particularly in developing countries," McClellan said.
Might he be considered for an administration job?
"I haven't heard that," McClellan told reporters. "I think he's enjoying the career that he has right now and doing all the good work that he does on behalf of people who are suffering in developing countries."
